Brace yourself
Wednesday 28 July 2010

Today's one day to remember. Well not because of anything in school, but jut happens that I removed my brace today! Yes it's finally off after spending 3years+ with me. I was super afraid that the dentist wouldn't remove it cos she said "If all goes well, we'll remove your braces next visit" and that last visit was almost 3 months ago cos she postponed it twice! Removing it was quite fast, in fact, really fast. Removing the rings at the back were super painful. Crazy pain. And there's 4 rings, so that's like going through the pain 4 times. After the rings are out, the whole thing comes off though so it's quite fast.

School's been quite busy with intensive revision and other stuff and we went Pasar Malam too! I'm kinda behind schedule for my workplan cos I haven't been serious studying for the past 3 days so I better buck up! My family's watching "Despicable me" this Sunday. I was supposed to join them but I don't think I'll be going already after looking at the progress I've made. Gotta catch up with my work. I'll probably watch it and all the other awesome movies I missed at the end of the year after A levels. Like a crazy week of movie marathon. I'm sooooo looking forward to after A levels!

I wanna watch Sorcerer's Apprentice too boohoo :(

Monday 26 July 2010

PE today was a total waste of time. Spent like 30mins settling down and watching YOG videos. Then spent the next 30mins doing circuits. HOW BORING. Worst PE lesson of the year seriously.

Today's the only day which my class ends at 1230 and we do not have night study or Intensive revision program. Well, still stayed in school until 5+++ before going tuition.

Math tuition was quite good though. Painful and slow progress, but at least it's progress! Tomorrow's physics intensive revision. And geography lessons. I hope I survive tomorrow's geography lesson. I always get called for no reason. I think the teacher has something against me. I'm serious!

Geography
Sunday 25 July 2010

Studying isn't that fun, but it isn't that bad too.

However, studying Geography is seriously a pain in the A!! It's just so frustrating! There's no structure to the whole thing! So, I tried studying from the syllabus to provide me with some sort of guide. And guess what, I can't find the information I need. Not from my notes, and not from the internet. My note's full of useless facts and there isn't what I want, and the information is all over the internet! I spent my whole afternoon just searching for the information I need just a really small part of it. I'm so glad it's just my H1. Seriously...


I'm planning on getting my hands on the reference book by David Waugh. Hopefully it'll be more informative and not as useless as....


Moving on to something more positive and less irritating, tomorrow's the start of the new timetable! And I end school on Monday at ... 1230pm! There's no intensive revision and night study for my class on Monday so we really end at 1230pm! How nice right. Okay la but frankly, it doesn't really make much a difference haha. We'll probably end up studying in school then going for tuition after that.

Actually come to think of it, I rather the school give me time to do self studying, and not have the intensive revision program cos I'm kinda skeptical about the thing. I'm kinda predicting that the intensive revision program will be a waste of time. Well, we'll see how =D

1 week closer to Prelims. And 1 day closer to removing me braces! d[^_^]b

Saturday 24 July 2010

After today's tuition, I actually feel a little sad that I'm leaving it in 2 weeks time. It's like I'm leaving this happy family sort of thing :(


Today was the parent-teacher meeting. My parents went but I didn't follow them since I had tuition. I'm quite disappointed with the feedback my teacher gave, but that's kinda what I expected my teacher to say. Sometimes people think they know you and form all sorts of impressions of you, but do they really know you? Or is their knowledge of you just a perception of you? And perhaps a really biased one since they only see a certain side of you.

Anyway, moving on to something happier, I'm possibly taking out my braces this week hehe. I really hope I do, and I should be able to remove them, unless something stupid happens again like for the past 3 times.

This was taken last year before SYF at VJC during some choral exchange. I still remember we kinda sucked during that performance.

This was taken while we were competing Sacred Category in International Krakow Choir Festival we went last month! The venue of that category was in this church! Really awesome acoustics. The echo is imba.


And I lost my Line Spectra and Halogen Derivatives lecture notes!!!!

Friday!
Friday 23 July 2010

Today's the last long Friday I'll ever have until school ends. Next week onwards there'll be night intensive revision so school's gonna end at 5 on most days. Plus I've 2 days night study and I intend to stay in school to study so I guess Imma spend almost all my time in school.

School school school. Time table's gonna change next week. School's ending early but there'll be 3hours intensive revision periods everyday except for 1 day. Plus there's gonna be night study! School's gonna be sooo fun!!! hahaha ok la but seriously, I'm glad that there's time for us to study. I hope I can make good use of this time.

Is bubble tea or Mac healthier? I seriously think Bubble Tea is healthier.

Thursday 22 July 2010

Looking at what I've done for this week, I'm actually a little disappointed in my progress. I think I've kinda lost the focus and determination I had last week. And I can't just leave it like that. I'll definitely not do well if I carry on like this but I can't afford to not do well. This week's been busy. Had quite a few activities going on, and I guess that kind of made me lose my focus. Well now that it's over, it's time to go back to serious studying!

Prelims is inching closer, and time is running out.

Soccer
Tuesday 20 July 2010

Guess what? I decided to play soccer today haha. Soccer was fun but tiring. Like seriously tiring! Probably haven't had such a long intense exercise session since I last trained for badminton during my secondary school days. Now my legs are aching, and I'm anticipating even more ache tomorrow when I wake up. 

Borrowed shoes from Mr Kuah. Lucky he kept his boots in his car, plus he had 2 pairs so he was able to play too! Or else I'll have to wear Zijie's shoe which is 3 sizes bigger than my feet size. 

Now it's back to reality and back to studying. Tomorrow's Chinese Listening Comprehension too. I hope I don't fall asleep!

Tuition
Monday 19 July 2010

Just back from math tuition. First lesson at this new tuition center. Well it wasn't really tuition, more of individual consultation in a group. The idea's quite cool though. You've a teacher to teach you, and you can learn at your own pace while doing your own work! Met an old friend there too. How small is singapore! By the way, I meant old as in old and not old. Well, you get it :)

I was late for school today. And the feeling sucks cos I don't really think it's not completely our fault. My dad's overseas so I've to take bus with XiHsien to school until he's back. We went at our usual time and guess what? The bus timing's changed. HOW NICE. End up, we were late. And it's the 2nd time late since I was late last week too. I don't wanna get suspended! And I don't wanna go to the doctor to tell a lie to get an MC. I really hope I'll be on time LOL. Gonna wake up earlier tomorrow and leave the house earlier. EAT THAT, STUPID BUS 34!!!

There's a soccer match between my classs and several other classes tomorrow. I'm still considering if I should play, since I honestly suck at soccer and all I'll do is probably kill their chances of winning, and I doubt I'll study if I play. And studying seems to be the right thing to do. But maybe playing soccer ain't such a bad idea since it's probably gonna be only just for 1 hour...

WE'LL SEE d[^_^]b

Keep the dream alive: Hit the snooze button.

Sunday 18 July 2010

Studying ain't fun. But I'm glad I completed my tutorials and homework. Packed all my geography notes too. It's time to study for geography, and it's the 2nd time I'm going to start studying geography. 1st time was for my promotional exams. A man's gotta do what a man's gotta do!

I'm probably gonna try out Sher/Alina's math tuition tomorrow. Sounds attractive, and if it works out, then math won't be such a worry. Best of all, it's quite near my house. For the first time, something's near my house! 

Everyday is a day close to Prelims, and Alevels

AND FREEDOM \m/

PE
Thursday 15 July 2010

I think today's the most fun PE I've had in JC! Since most of us have passed our NAPFA, we're allowed to play soccer. First time we're so FREE during PE, and not running and jumping and pulling-up. And now my whole body's aching. Haven't been exercising ever since NAPFA test was over. Well, doesn't really matter cos it's OVER!! haha


Tomorrow's friday and Imma try my best to make good use of the day to study. Frankly speaking, I do miss choir practices and council meetings :( I feel so free now, cos there's no CCA, yet so constrained. Even if I had CCA, I doubt I'll go cos there's just too much to study and Prelim Exam's just in about 7weeks! HOW FAST IS THAT. 


I miss going to school without worrying about studying.  I miss going through school days while looking forward to CCA, or slacking sessions or outings. SIANXZ.

STUDY
Tuesday 13 July 2010

Studied in school library for like 3hrs plus today. Well, it actually felt quite good. After getting all my bad results (I'm shy so I won't say hehehe but trust it it's REALLY bad. Can't get any worse.), it's really time for me to study, and study really hard to make up for lost time. I don't wanna waste my 2 years in JC. And, I wanna build my hotel.

I used to think, there'll be time, I'll do it next time. Now I'm in next time, and I'm realizing that there isn't much time left. Time is running out.

STUDY
Thursday 1 July 2010

Tomorrow's the last paper! Physics!

And there's OG outing after Physics. Awesome! Btw this OG was the one I took care of during this year's orientation. My awesome little kids!!!

Okay Imma try to stay away from the computer today. Computer is such a distraction from studying. 

WISH ME LUCK!
